         The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain non-employee directors
of the Company and to provide such persons with a proprietary interest in the
Company through the granting of Options that will:

         (b) furnish an incentive to such person to continue their services for
the Company; and

                                    ARTICLE 3
                                 ADMINISTRATION

         Subject to the terms of this Article 3, the Plan shall be administered
by the Board or such committee of the Board as is designated by the Board to
administer the Plan (the "Committee"). The Committee shall consist of not fewer
than two persons. Any member of the Committee may be removed at any time, with

<PAGE>

by the Committee, but not inconsistent with the Plan. Although the members of
the Committee shall be eligible to receive Options, no member of the Committee
shall participate in any decisions regarding any Option granted hereunder to
such member. All decisions with respect to any Option, and the terms and
conditions thereof, to be granted under the Plan to any member of the Committee

action made or taken by the Committee shall be final, binding, and conclusive on

                          ELIGIBILITY; GRANT OF OPTIONS

         The Committee must grant Options as follows: (i) on the date when an
individual first becomes a Non-Employee Director, such individual shall be
granted an Option for 10,000 shares of Common Stock immediately upon becoming a
Non-Employee Director if such individual does not elect to decline to
participate in the Plan pursuant to Section 2.14; and (ii) on the date of each
annual meeting of the Company, 15,000 shares of Common Stock shall be granted to
each individual who does not elect to decline to participate in the Plan
pursuant to Section 2.14, who was not first elected to serve on the Board at
such annual meeting, and who is serving as a Non-Employee Director of the
Company on the date of such annual meeting and the day immediately following
such date. The Committee shall not grant Options under any other circumstances.

                  The grant of an Option shall be evidenced by an Option
Agreement setting forth the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to
the Option, the Option Price, and the maximum term of the Option, the Date of
Grant, and such other terms and provisions as are approved by the Committee, but
not inconsistent with the Plan. The Company shall execute an Option Agreement
with a Participant after the issuance of an Option. Any Option granted pursuant
to this Plan must be granted within ten (10) years of the date of adoption of
this Plan. The Plan shall be submitted to the Company's stockholders for
approval; however, the Committee may grant Options under the Plan prior to the
time of any required stockholder approval. Any such Option granted prior to such
stockholder approval, if required or desired by the Board, shall be made subject
to such stockholder approval. The grant of an Option to a Participant shall not
be deemed either to entitle the Participant to, or to disqualify the Participant
from, receipt of any other Option under the Plan.

                                    ARTICLE 5
                             SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN

         5.1 NUMBER AVAILABLE FOR OPTIONS. Subject to adjustment as provided in
Articles 11 and 12, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be
delivered pursuant to Options granted under the Plan is Five Hundred Thousand
(500,000) shares. Shares to be issued may be made available from either
authorized but unissued Common Stock or Common Stock held by the Company in its
treasury. During the term of this Plan, the Company will at all times reserve
and keep available the number of shares of Common Stock that shall be sufficient
to satisfy the requirements of this Plan.

         5.2 REUSE OF SHARES. If, and to the extent an Option shall expire or
terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full, or in the event
that an Option is exercised or settled in a manner such that some or all of the
shares of Common Stock relating to the Option are not issued to the Participant
(or beneficiary) (including as the result of the use of shares for withholding
taxes), the shares of Common Stock


                                       4
<PAGE>

subject thereto which have not become outstanding shall (unless the Plan shall
have sooner terminated) become available for issuance under the Plan; in
addition, with respect to any share-for-share exercise or cashless exercise
pursuant to Section 8.3 or otherwise, only the "net" shares issued shall be
deemed to have become outstanding for purposes of the Plan as a result thereof.

                                    ARTICLE 6
                                  OPTION PRICE

         The Option Price for any share of Common Stock which may be purchased

                            OPTION PERIOD; FORFEITURE

         7.1 OPTION PERIOD.

                  Subject to the other provisions of this Plan, the Committee
         shall specify in the Option Agreement the Option Period. In the event
         of a Termination of Service of a Director, the Option Period for an
         Option shall be reduced or terminated in accordance with this Article
         7. No Option granted under the Plan may be exercised at any time after
         the end of its Option Period. The Option Period shall be no more than
         ten (10) years from the Date of Grant of the Option. Each Option will
         terminate at the first of the following to occur:

                  (a)      5 p.m. on the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant;

                  (b)      5 p.m. on the date of the Participant's Termination
                           of Service as a Director due to any act of (i) fraud
                           or intentional misrepresentation or (ii)
                           embezzlement, misappropriation or conversion of
                           assets or opportunities of the Company or any direct
                           or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Company;

                  (c)      5 p.m. on the date which is twelve (12) months
                           following the Participant's Termination of Service as
                           a Director due to death;

                  (d)      5 p.m. on the date which is three (3) months
                           following the Participant's Termination of Service as
                           a Director other than as a result of the events set
                           forth in 7.1(b) or 7.1(c) above, including a failure
                           by the stockholders of the Company to reelect the
                           Participant as a director.

         7.2 FORFEITURE. In the event of a Participant's Termination of Service
as a Director or the expiration of any Option Period of any Option, the
unexercised portion of the Option previously granted to such Participant shall
terminate as of 5 p.m. on the date set forth in Section 7.1 above.


                                    ARTICLE 8
                               EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

         8.1 IN GENERAL. Each Option granted pursuant to the Plan may be
exercised, in whole or in part, by the Participant at any time or (with respect
to partial exercises) from time to time during the Option Period at such times
and in such amounts as provided in this Plan and the applicable Option
Agreement, subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions of the Plan. No
Option may be exercised for a fractional share of


                                       5
<PAGE>

Common Stock. The granting of an Option shall impose no obligation upon the
Participant to exercise that Option.

         8.2 SECURITIES LAW AND EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS. In no event may an Option
be exercised or shares of Common Stock be issued pursuant to an Option if a
necessary listing or quotation of the shares of Common Stock on a stock exchange
or inter-dealer quotation system or any registration under state or federal
securities laws required under the circumstances has not been accomplished.

         8.3 EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                  (a) NOTICE AND PAYMENT. Subject to such administrative
         regulations as the Committee may from time to time adopt, an Option may
         be exercised by the personal delivery to the Secretary of the Company
         of, or by the sending by United States registered or certified mail,
         postage prepaid, addressed to the Company (to the attention of the
         Secretary), of, written notice signed by the Participant setting forth
         the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option
         is to be exercised and the date of exercise thereof (the "Exercise
         Date") which shall be at least three (3) days after giving such notice
         unless an earlier time shall have been mutually agreed upon. On the
         Exercise Date, the Participant shall deliver to the Company
         consideration with a value equal to the total Option Price of the
         shares to be purchased, payable as provided in the Option Agreement,
         which may provide for payment in any one or more of the following ways:
         (a) cash or check, bank draft, or money order payable to the order of
         the Company, (b) Common Stock owned by the Participant on the Exercise
         Date, valued at its Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, and which
         the Participant has not acquired from the Company within six (6) months
         prior to the Exercise Date; and/or (c) by delivery (including by FAX)
         to the Company or its designated agent of an executed irrevocable
         option exercise form together with irrevocable instructions from the
         Participant to a broker or dealer, reasonably acceptable to the
         Company, to sell certain of the shares of Common Stock purchased upon
         exercise of the Option or to pledge such shares as collateral for a
         loan and promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan
         proceeds necessary to pay such purchase price.

                  (b) ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATE. Except as otherwise provided in
         the applicable Option Agreement, upon payment of all amounts due from
         the Participant, including an amount equal to any applicable
         withholding taxes (if any) due in connection with such exercise, the
         Company shall cause certificates for the Common Stock then being
         purchased to be delivered as directed by the Participant (or the person
         exercising the Participant's Option in the event of his death) at its
         principal business office promptly after the Exercise Date. The
         obligation of the Company to deliver shares of Common Stock shall,
         however, be subject to the condition that, if at any time the Committee
         shall determine in its discretion that the listing or registration of
         the Option or the Common Stock upon any securities exchange or
         inter-dealer quotation system or under any state or federal law, or the
         consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary
         as a condition of, or in connection with, the Option or the issuance or
         purchase of shares of Common Stock thereunder, the Option may not be
         exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration,
         consent, or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any
         conditions not reasonably acceptable to the Committee.

                  (c) FAILURE TO PAY. If the Participant fails to pay for any of
         the Common Stock specified in such notice or fails to accept delivery
         thereof, the Participant's Option and right to purchase such Common
         Stock may be forfeited by the Company.

         8.4 REQUIREMENT OF DIRECTORSHIP. Except as provided in Section 7.1 of
the Plan, an Option may not be exercised unless the Participant is at the time
of exercise serving as a director of the Company, and, except as provided in
Section 7.1 of the Plan, such Option shall terminate upon termination of the
Participant's service as a director of the Company.

                           AMENDMENT OR DISCONTINUANCE

         Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 9, the Board may
at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Participants,
alter, amend, revise, suspend, or discontinue the Plan in whole or in part;
provided, however, that any amendment to the Plan shall be approved by the
stockholders if the amendment would:

         (a)      materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants
                  under the Plan;

         (b)      materially increase the number of securities which may be
                  issued under the Plan; or

         (c)      materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for
                  participation in the Plan.

         In addition, unless required by law, no amendment may adversely affect
any rights of Participants or obligations of the Company to Participants with
respect to any Option theretofore granted under the Plan without the consent of
the affected Participant,

                                      TERM

         The Plan shall be effective from the date that this Plan is approved by
the Board. Unless sooner terminated by action of the Board, the Plan will
terminate on May 30, 2012, but Options granted before that date will continue to
be effective in accordance with their terms and conditions.


                                   ARTICLE 11
                               CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS

         In the event that the Committee shall determine that any dividend or
other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities,
or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, rights
offering, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, split-off,
combination, subdivision, repurchase, or exchange of Common Stock or other
securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase
Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate
transaction or event affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is
determined by the Committee to be appropriate to prevent the dilution or
enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available
under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem
equitable, adjust any or all of the (i) the number of shares and type of Common
Stock (or the securities or property) which thereafter may be made the subject
of Options, (ii) the number of shares and type of Common Stock (or other
securities or property) subject to outstanding Options, and (iii) the Option
Price of each outstanding Option to the end that the same proportion of the
Company's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock in each instance shall
remain subject to exercise at the same aggregate Option Price; provided,
however, that the number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or
property) subject to any Option shall always be a whole number. In lieu of the
foregoing, if deemed appropriate, the Committee may make provision for a cash
payment to the holder of an outstanding Option. Such adjustments shall be made
in accordance with the rules of any securities exchange, stock market, or stock
quotation system to which the Company is subject.


                                       7

         Upon the occurrence of any such adjustment or cash payment, the Company
shall provide notice to each affected Participant of its computation of such
adjustment or cash payment which shall be conclusive and shall be binding upon
each such Participant.


                                   ARTICLE 12
                   RECAPITALIZATION, MERGER AND CONSOLIDATION

         12.1 NO EFFECT ON COMPANY'S AUTHORITY. The existence of this Plan and
Options granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of the
Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments,
recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in the Company's capital
structure and its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or
any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or preference stocks ranking prior
to or otherwise affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof (or any rights,
options, or warrants to purchase same), or the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business,
or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or
otherwise.

         12.2 CONVERSION OF WHERE COMPANY SURVIVES. Subject to any required
action by the stockholders, if the Company shall be the surviving or resulting
corporation in any merger, consolidation or share exchange, any Option granted
hereunder shall pertain to and apply to the securities or rights (including
cash, property, or assets) to which a holder of the number of shares of Common
Stock subject to the Option would have been entitled.

         12.3 EXCHANGE OR CANCELLATION OF OPTIONS WHERE COMPANY DOES NOT
SURVIVE. In the event of any merger, consolidation or share exchange pursuant to
which the Company is not the surviving or resulting corporation, there shall be
substituted for each share of Common Stock subject to the unexercised portions
of outstanding Options, that number of shares of each class of stock or other
securities or that amount of cash, property, or assets of the surviving,
resulting or consolidated company which were distributed or distributable to the
stockholders of the Company in respect to each share of Common Stock held by
them, such outstanding Options to be thereafter exercisable for such stock,
securities, cash, or property in accordance with their terms.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, all Options may be canceled by
the Company, in its sole discretion, as of the effective date of any such
reorganization, merger, consolidation, or share exchange, or of any proposed
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or of any
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, by either:

                  (a) giving notice to each holder thereof or his personal
         representative of its intention to cancel such Options and permitting
         the purchase during the thirty (30) day period next preceding such
         effective date of any or all of the shares subject to such outstanding
         Options, including in the Board's discretion some or all of the shares
         as to which such Options would not otherwise be vested and exercisable;
         or

                  (b) paying the holder thereof an amount equal to a reasonable
         estimate of the difference between the net amount per share payable in
         such transaction or as a result of such transaction, and the exercise
         price per share of such Option (hereinafter the "Spread"), multiplied
         by the number of shares subject to the Option. In estimating the
         Spread, appropriate adjustments to give effect to the existence of the
         Options shall be made, such as deeming the Options to have been
         exercised, with the Company receiving the exercise price payable
         thereunder, and treating the shares receivable upon exercise of the
         Options as being outstanding in determining the net amount per share.
         In cases where the proposed transaction consists of the acquisition of
         assets of the Company, the net amount per share


                                       8
<PAGE>

         shall be calculated on the basis of the net amount receivable with
         respect to shares of Common Stock upon a distribution and liquidation
         by the Company after giving effect to expenses and charges, including
         but not limited to taxes, payable by the Company before such
         liquidation could be completed.

         12.4 CHANGE OF CONTROL. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan
to the contrary, in the event of a Change of Control of the Corporation, the
maturity of all Options then outstanding under the Plan shall be accelerated
automatically, so that all Options shall become exercisable in full with respect
to all shares as to which they shall not have previously been exercised or
become exercisable; provided, however, that no such acceleration shall occur
with respect to Options held by directors whose service as a director of the
Company shall have terminated prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control.


                                   ARTICLE 13
                           LIQUIDATION OR DISSOLUTION

         Subject to Section 12.3 hereof, in case the Company shall, at any time
while any Option under this Plan shall be in force and remain unexpired, (i)
sell all or substantially all of its property, or (ii) dissolve, liquidate, or
wind up its affairs, then each Participant shall be entitled to receive, in lieu
of each share of Common Stock of the Company which such Participant would have
been entitled to receive under the Option, the same kind and amount of any
securities or assets as may be issuable, distributable, or payable upon any such
sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up with respect to each share of
Common Stock of the Company. If the Company shall, at any time prior to the
expiration of any Option, make any partial distribution of its assets, in the
nature of a partial liquidation, whether payable in cash or in kind (but
excluding the distribution of a cash dividend payable out of earned surplus and
designated as such) then in such event the Option Prices then in effect with
respect to each Option shall be reduced, on the payment date of such
distribution, in proportion to the percentage reduction in the tangible book
value of the shares of the Company's Common Stock (determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles) resulting by reason of such
distribution.


                                   ARTICLE 14
                           OPTIONS IN SUBSTITUTION FOR
                        OPTIONS GRANTED BY OTHER ENTITIES

         Options may be granted under the Plan from time to time in substitution
for similar instruments held by directors of a corporation, partnership, or
limited liability company who become or are about to become Non-Employee
Directors of the Company as a result of a merger or consolidation of the
employing corporation with the Company, the acquisition by the Company of equity
of the employing entity, or any other similar transaction pursuant to which the
Company becomes the successor employer. The terms and conditions of the
substitute Options so granted may vary from the terms and conditions set forth
in this Plan to such extent as the Committee at the time of grant may deem
appropriate to conform, in whole or in part, to the provisions of the Options in
substitution for which they are granted.


                                   ARTICLE 15
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         15.1 INVESTMENT INTENT. The Company may require that there be presented
to and filed with it by any Participant under the Plan, such evidence as it may
deem necessary to establish that the Options granted


                                       9
<PAGE>

or the shares of Common Stock to be purchased or transferred are being acquired
for investment and not with a view to their distribution.

         15.2 NO EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP. The Participant is not an employee of
the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. Nothing herein shall be construed
to create an employer-employee relationship between the Company and the
Participant.

         15.3 INDEMNIFICATION OF BOARD AND COMMITTEE. No member of the Board or
the Committee, nor any officer or Employee of the Company acting on behalf of
the Board or the Committee, shall be personally liable for any action,
determination, or interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to the
Plan, and all members of the Board and the Committee, each officer of the
Company, and each Employee of the Company acting on behalf of the Board or the
Committee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and
protected by the Company in respect of any such action, determination, or
interpretation.

         15.4 EFFECT OF THE PLAN. Neither the adoption of this Plan nor any
action of the Board or the Committee shall be deemed to give any person any
right to be granted an Option or any other rights except as may be evidenced by
an Option Agreement, or any amendment thereto, duly authorized by the Committee
and executed on behalf of the Company, and then only to the extent and upon the
terms and conditions expressly set forth therein.

         15.5 COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS AND REGULATIONS. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to
sell or issue shares of Common Stock under any Option if the issuance thereof
would constitute a violation by the Participant or the Company of any provisions
of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or any national
securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system or other forum in which
shares of Common Stock are quoted or traded; and, as a condition of any sale or
issuance of shares of Common Stock under an Option, the Committee may require
such agreements or undertakings, if any, as the Committee may deem necessary or
advisable to assure compliance with any such law or regulation. The Plan, the
grant and exercise of Options hereunder, and the obligation of the Company to
sell and deliver shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to all applicable
federal and state laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any
government or regulatory agency as may be required.

         15.6 TAX REQUIREMENTS. The Company shall have the right to deduct from
all amounts hereunder paid in cash or other form, any Federal, state, or local
taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payments. The
Participant receiving shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan shall be
required to pay the Company the amount of any taxes which the Company is
required to withhold with respect to such shares of Common Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an assignment of an Option
pursuant to Section 15.7, the Participant who assigns the Option shall remain
subject to withholding taxes upon exercise of the Option by the transferee to
the extent required by the Code or the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. Such payments shall be required to be made prior to the delivery of
any certificate representing such shares of Common Stock. Such payment may be
made (i) by the delivery of cash to the Company in an amount that equals or
exceeds (to avoid the issuance of fractional shares under (iii) below) the
required tax withholding obligation of the Company; (ii) the actual delivery by
the exercising Participant to the Company of shares of Common Stock that the
Participant has not acquired from the Company within six (6) months prior to the
date of exercise, which shares so delivered have an aggregate Fair Market Value
that equals or exceeds (to avoid the issuance of fractional shares under (iii)
below) the required tax withholding payment; (iii) the Company's withholding of
a number of shares to be delivered upon the exercise of the Option, which shares
so withheld have an aggregate fair market value that equals (but does not
exceed) the required tax withholding payment; or (iv) any combination of (i),
(ii), or (iii).

         15.7 NON-ASSIGNABILITY. An option granted to a Participant may not be
transferred or assigned other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution or pursuant to the terms of a qualified domestic


                                       10
<PAGE>

relations order as defined in Code Section 411(a)(13). If the Participant
attempts to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of his
Option or any right thereunder, except as provided for in this Plan or the
Option Agreement, or in the event of any levy, attachment, execution or similar
process upon the right or interest conferred by this Plan or the Option
Agreement, the Committee may terminate the Participant's Option by notice to
him, and it shall thereupon become null and void.

         15.8 USE OF PROCEEDS. Proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock
pursuant to Options granted under this Plan shall constitute general funds of
the Company.

         15.9 LEGEND. The following legend shall be inserted on a certificate
evidencing Common Stock issued under the Plan if the shares were not issued in a
transaction registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws:

                           "SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE
                           BEEN ACQUIRED BY THE HOLDER FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT
                           FOR RESALE, TRANSFER OR DISTRIBUTION, HAVE BEEN
                           ISSUED PURSUANT TO EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION
                           REQUIREMENTS OF APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL
                           SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE,
                           SOLD OR TRANSFERRED OTHER THAN PURSUANT TO EFFECTIVE
                           REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH LAWS, OR IN TRANSACTIONS
                           OTHERWISE IN COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH LAWS, AND UPON
                           EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY OF COMPLIANCE
                           WITH SUCH LAWS, AS TO WHICH THE COMPANY MAY RELY UPON
                           AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY."

         A copy of this Plan shall be kept on file in the principal office of
the Company in Dallas, Texas.
